Good Basic Coverage of AK Cruise & Individual Ports of Call July 24, 2002
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
Starting with a general overview of cruising and in particular Alaskan Cruising (giving info on small and large ships, packing, etc.) the book quickly moves into port-by-port descriptions.Each port section includes a map with key locations, information about getting around town from the docks, points of interest, and recommendations for shopping and dining. Also included is information about nearby out-door activities including self guided hikes and other activities as well as guided tours on bikes, boats, horses, rafting, etc. Just enough detail to have an idea what's available, where it's located, and what generally to expect-- and to book your own shore excursions if you want. Would be a good book to stick in a backpack as you head for shore for the day. Book does not give much help in terms of rating the different events/excursions/locations. They are all described but the reader is left to choose what sounds interesting and what will fit his/her schedule (with the exception of dining locations, which ARE rated). The reader is NOT given a super CLEAR idea of what is a "must-see" and what is instead a tourist trap.
